Well, damn. As the only one in my immediate family never to have had it, I really thought I was going to get away with it.
Also I don’t really like the #NotMyKing hashtag that some republican campaigners have been using. It implies either that someone else should be king, or that there is or could be someone who is ‘my king’. Republicans believe no one should be king. Or queen.
Did anyone else get heavy Cybermen vibes from the royal funeral parade? All the slow marching with a drumbeat on every step? Everyone in time, rocking from side to side…
I no longer follow anyone on Twitter that I haven’t met, but I’m thinking of making an exception for this glorious translator between modern slang and business-speak:
It’s not yet the end of March. I’ve just put the cushions on the outdoor chairs, and put the umbrella up to shade me from the sun as I sit in the garden drinking coffee. I’m about to cut the grass. And I can hear seagulls.
Mildly amusing that no one noticed the obvious mistake in my last post/tweet. Or they were too polite to say. It’s still visible on Twitter, fixed on my site.

So if I run brew install python-tk, which should let me build basic GUI apps on Mac with Python, it says:
Error: python@3.9: the bottle needs the Apple Command Line Tools to be installed.
You can install them, if desired, with:
xcode-select --install
And running xcode-select --installgives me the following dialogue:
80 hours! To install some command-line tools!
(In fact it soon dropped to a more sensible 8 minutes, via 13, but still.)
